for him to do would be to double back again toward the June-btig trail — only he would not take the trail, but. plunge across country through the timber. The fog lay thick on the San Dimas again: only the highest hilts showed above the friendly vapor. Yes, his best chance lay to the north; and without hn Instant's hesitation he chose that route. Up over the crest of Bogus he galloped and down through the buck- ’ brush, chaparral, and scrubby timber 1 to the Tantrum Meadows trail that 1 ran along the north slope of Bogus, ; descending swiftly to the valley below. For a, mile he followed the trail, ■ they) swung off it straight down through the timber at » point where ’ the spare undergrowth permitted rapid progress. Across the mile-wide val- ' ley that was the lower end of Tantrum Meadows he tied, on up the farther slope and into the deep timber. Here for the first time he pulled up his horse and rested him; while resting, he discarded his rags of cloth- ' ing and donned the habiliments Uncle Charley had purchased for him. He ■ had everything—shoes, three pairs of socks, two changes of underwear, a suit of brown corduroy, two woolen ‘ shirts, a necktie, and the sofT of lightI gray, soft, broad-brimmed hat usually '.worn by cattlemen in that country. ’I Having dressed he adjusted his saddle, mounted and rode leisurely ' but watchfully toward the north.

know every foot of that country; for years he had ridden it on the round-, up and he had no difficulty avoiding forest-guard and ranger stations. Early in the afternon he pulled up in a little patch of park land, hemmed in by tall hills and wholly surrounded by n magnificent growth of sugar and white-pine timber. Here he dismounted, unsaddled and, after picketing his horse with the macarte, took his rifle and disappeared into the timber. The booming note of a male grouse reached him presently. With infinite patience he stalked the sound until he located the bird perched on the limb of a madron tree. Sighting car% fully, he shot its head off neatly, plucked it. cleaned it, and returned with It to the tiny meadow. . About an hour before dark, when the animal head had already gone from the grouse, he went into the timber and kindled a fire. When he had accumulated a bed of coals he spitted the grouse on a forked willow wand and roasted it. Thus did he sup. Then he watered his horse, wiped him down vigorously with wisps of dry grass, picketed him again, rolled himself up in the soiled saddle-blan-ket. and, with the saddle for a pillow, turned in and slept soundly until daylight. He awakened with the acrid odor of wood smoke in his nostrils and a faint roaiing sound in his ears; almost instantly a doc and her two fawns al-

most ran over him In wild flight from 1 some unseen danger. ! He rolled out and looked for his, horse. The animal was standing close by, cars alert in a listening attitude, red nostrils flung wide to catch that threatening odor of wood smoke. He was trembling and already persplra- 1 tion had broken out on him. The man went up to him. soothed him with caresses and endearing words, and led him to an adjacent brook to drink, "No fog this morning, old settler," he assured the timid animal "What we see is smoke from a forest fire | This little two-acre patch of park land Is no safe place for us, boy. We've got to get out of here in a hurry ami scout this fire. It's to the north of us but what we want to know is. how far east and how far west does It burn, how long has it been burning, and qre we apt to run into an army of fire fighters led by

As he proceeded, the evidence l of panic among the members-of the 1 lesser kingdom Increased. DeTr, sev- , eral specimens of the large mountain «oyote, a brown bear with two yearling cubs, some cattle, and a panther passed him by without bothering to avoid him. Plainly they were too concerned with what lay behind them. I The smoke grew thicker and thicker, and presently little pieces of burning bark and twigs, whirled upward by the roaring draft of the fire ami caught in the morning breeze, commem.Mil falling around him. ' t*»i was. bad. While it was early I October, as yet no rains had fallen | in life San Dimas, the underbrush was dry. and burned with the heat of the

' summer just passed, and Mason real- . ized that around him dozens of little tires would soon start: what was per- ’ haps now but a mile long line of Are i would soon be ten miles long und a mile deep. He had to get out of this and get oui quickly. Well, In '<l push on to ’ the crest of the next hill in the hope that he would be vouchsafed a glimpse, 1 through some fortunate opening in ' the timber, of the proximity and size of the fire.
